• Deep familiarity with cross-border agreements and regulatory requirements affecting technology and telecom companies
• Strong stakeholder management, written/verbal communication, and document drafting skills-with ability to convey legal issues in clear, business-friendly language

Key Responsibilities:

• Offer practical, commercial advice and guidance on contract terms, legal risks, and business decisions specific to the tech/telco industry
• Review, amend, and negotiate a wide range of sector-relevant contracts (supplier, customer, software licenses, SaaS, reseller, and service agreements)
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Procurement, Compliance, and business stakeholders, with a distinct focus on technology or telco business objectives
• Maintain contracts registers and management systems with accuracy and efficiency
• On-board new suppliers and customers, ensuring sector compliance and best practices
• Liaise with external counsel, particularly for cross-border agreements or specialist sector needs
